12 reasons why you're always tired

Yes, it's the most boring reason of all so we'll get it out of the way first: before you look to why you're tired all the time, you must first look at your sleep. All Australian adults are recommended to get between seven and eight hours a night - no compromises. Keep in mind that doesn't mean time spent in bed, but time actually sleeping - so if you go to bed at 9PM but you spend an hour or two on Facebook, you might only be getting five or six hours.
